thanks for sharing. what kind of store is this? is it for thrifting or do they sell new items and what brands do they generally carry?

it's a pretty expensive department store that specializes in CDG but it has a big variety of options
carrion
carrion4mo ago
worth checking out even if you don't pick anything up, especially with where u are in learning about fashion🙏
defenechi
defenechiOP4mo ago
CDG!?! o no
seth
seth4mo ago

Maison Margiela on 7F 💀 I’m cooked Rick Owens on 6F 😭 I’m disintegrated Is denim tears a reputable brand? The only piece I know from them is the flower wreath pattern thing that’s been trending recently
seth
seth4mo ago
dont it's just hype pieces
defenechi
defenechiOP4mo ago
:cattostare:

very average quality for the prices
defenechi
defenechiOP4mo ago
Yeah I figured that’s why I ask about the actual brand beyond the hype pieces
kyn
kyn4mo ago
well, have you considered,
defenechi
defenechiOP4mo ago
I thought he was referring to only the flower hoodie I mentioned Not sure if he meant beyond that as well to their actual pieces
kyn
kyn4mo ago
honestly a lot of the things you have bought are very average quality for the price Anyway go to dsm

kyn kinda right, def use your time in NYC to explore some cuts and shapes that aren't just hoodie/sweatshirt! you're off to a good start, there's just a lot of dope shit out there.

seth4mo ago

kyn
kyn4mo ago

seth
seth4mo ago
kinda depends on the day and your outfit ime
kyn

For real That place sucks my ass RRL wouldn't necessarily be a place where you'd buy clothes but if you're interested in a clothing experience, their store in Soho is cool
